Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are best for picture framing?
The best materials depend on both the item being framed and the environment it will be displayed in. For example, archival mats and acid-free backings are ideal for preserving valuable or sentimental items, while UV-protective glass can prevent fading in bright spaces. Solid timber frames create a classic, durable finish, while lightweight options suit modern and minimalist designs. A professional framer can recommend the right combination of materials to keep your piece safe and looking beautiful for years to come.
What is canvas stretching and framing?
Canvas stretching and framing involve mounting a canvas artwork onto a wooden frame to keep it flat, secure, and ready for display. Proper stretching prevents sagging, creasing, or warping over time, helping maintain the artwork’s appearance and structural integrity. Once stretched, the canvas can be framed to enhance its presentation, complement décor styles, and provide an additional layer of protection against dust, moisture, and environmental damage.
How does local artist artwork framing differ from regular framing?
Framing the artwork of local artists often requires a more customised approach to preserve the originality and integrity of each piece. Many artworks are created using unique materials or techniques, so careful consideration is given to the frame style, matting, and glass type. The goal is to enhance the visual impact while ensuring long-term preservation. Supporting local artists through professional framing also helps highlight the craftsmanship and creativity behind each original piece.

Frames That Fit Every Story
Picture framing should never be one-size-fits-all. That’s why we focus on creating frames that work seamlessly with both the piece itself and the environment it will be displayed in. Whether it’s artwork, a diploma, or a poster from your favourite band, our custom framing service is designed to elevate and protect. We also offer matting and mounting services to give artwork more depth and presence, shadow boxes for 3D objects, and frame repairs to restore older pieces.
